    The Bottom Shelf Whisk(e)y Review Rules.
    1. We personally purchased the bottle for under $30 before tax. To stay in line we do not accept bottles as gifts for the show or special discounts. All purchases must be able to be done by any regular consumer.
    2. Two of our reviewers are always blind. This is so that brand and price will not have an effect on their judgment of the whiskey. (Josh has to pour the spirit and host, so he is not drinking blind.)

    I swear this whiskey is for broke college guys like me. I drink for results gents, I don't care about the journey yet, just the destination.

      I used to get this at CVS for $10. But as cheap as it is, I don't drink this no more. Nothing to complain about! It did the job.

    I'm 53. I remember when my parents had parties (every other week) and these black tubes were all over the place. BLACK VELVET 😊. Oh, and Baby Duck wine and stubby beer bottles.
    Ashtrays in every room. Smoking in the house. Ahhhhh the good old days. I miss the 70s.

      $20? I don’t see it anywhere for more than $10-11. For $20, I can get way better stuff like Evan Williams or Jim Beam. At least you like it.

    I asked my beautiful wife to please bring me home some Crown Royal.
    Nothing happened.
    So I gave her the cold shoulder for a few days.
    This worked.
    In a few more days I saw a large bottle of Black Velvet on the kitchen counter.
    Not what I asked for.
    Not what I expected.
    I was pleasantly surprised how satisfied I was after partaking in 3 or 5 shots of this blended Canadian whiskey. Smooth, tasty, and nice.
    Vanilla, cherry, coconut oak notes
    and fast-acting. I wouldn't call this whiskey bottom shelf. Maybe middle shelf and reaching for the 🔝 top.
